ATI Leadership and Ethics NURS 252 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
After several months of heavy patient loads in the Emergency Department and inability to secure sufficient and experienced staff, the department is especially taxed by a train accident that brings in many seriously injured individuals. You observe that Rama ignores the requests of several of the injured, even when time is available to care for them and is rude to two older adult patients. You are concerned that Rama is evidencing which state?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Depersonalization involves detachment and treating patients as objects, matching Rama's behavior. Role ambiguity involves unclear responsibilities, depression involves sadness, and hardiness implies resilience, none of which fit the described actions.
Question 2 of 5
A charge nurse notes that a staff nurse delegates an unfair share of tasks to the assistive personnel (AP) and the nurses on next shift report the staff nurse frequently leaves tasks uncompleted. Which of the following statements should the charge nurse make to resolve this conflict?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This statement is direct and constructive, focusing on expectations and fostering dialogue. Accusatory, threatening, or isolating statements may escalate conflict or defensiveness.
Question 3 of 5
During an annual performance evaluation, a manager provides truthful feedback about the nurse's performance. What ethical principle does this represent?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fidelity involves truthfulness and trust, reflected in honest feedback. Autonomy respects decision-making, nonmaleficence avoids harm, and justice ensures fairness, but none directly apply to truthful feedback.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse is planning to conduct a performance appraisal of a staff member on her unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Allowing disagreement ensures a fair appraisal process. Appraisals should focus on job duties, be private, and be scheduled, not random, to support constructive dialogue.
Question 5 of 5
The chief nursing officer at a local hospital seeking Magnet® status creates staff development classes concerning translation of research into practice (TRIP). What best describes TRIP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TRIP involves applying research to practice through adoption strategies. Searching reviews, sharing results, or conducting reviews are related but not the core of TRIP.
